Urban Sims

After marrying Princess Elena, Zhou Ming did not leave the royal capital Woz City immediately, but stayed for a while.

While spending his honeymoon with the princess, at the plea of ​​King Helian, he asked the lieutenant to bring 5,000 troops to the aid of Lugaburg, which was under siege in the Earl of Luga. , the exhausted Arinor Kingdom army was rushed to pieces and fled in confusion.

On this day, Zhou Ming, who was leading Elena to hunt in the forest, heard a news in his ear from a guard who came in a hurry, put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and apologized to the princess. He quickly returned to Wards City.

North of the city.

It is a slum where the houses are generally low and messy, sewage and garbage are everywhere, and the stench can be smelled everywhere.

Zhou Ming took a few guards pinching their noses, and under the guidance of a local guide, walked through the maze-like alleyways for more than ten minutes, and finally came to a building less than two meters high, low The front of the house is dilapidated, with messy debris piled up at the door, and the foot of the stone wall covered with filthy black spots.

"Honorable Lord Knight, this is the home of the 'Poisonous Aunt'."

Zhou Ming winked, and the guard understood, took out a money bag from his waist, and threw it into the guide's hand.

After receiving the money bag, the middle-aged guide was overjoyed, bowed again and again, looked around vigilantly for a while, quickly put the money bag in his pocket, bent over, said goodbye and left.

"Dangdangdang~"

In front of the small room, a guard came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard the sound of the door bolt being pulled, and a green and immature face poked out from the crack of the door.

Zhou Ming was shocked.

Several guards around him also looked surprised and looked at each other.

Like, it’s so similar!

Especially the eyes and mouth, they are simply carved from the same mold.

"What's the matter with you here?"

Seeing the crowd, the young boy stared at them and asked, slightly hunched over, like a leopard ready to attack, his face full of suspicion and vigilance.

When his eyes glanced at Zhou Ming in the middle of the guards, the young man was slightly startled. This man...

"We are here to find the Poisonous Grandma. Is she at home?" a guard asked.

Hearing the word "poisonous nanny", the young man seemed to have been greatly stimulated. He waved his arms and shouted to everyone: "Aren't you there! You have found the wrong person. There is no nanny here. Go away!"

After saying that, the young man turned around and retreated into the house, closing the door behind him.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhou Ming shouted, took two steps forward and said, "I am Diana's friend. I just want to see her today. I have no other intention."

Diana?

The young man was startled. How did this man know his mother's name? Then he walked up to her, put his hand on the doorknob, looked at himself and whispered, "Let me go in alone and take a look at her."

"Cough cough cough!"

At this time, there was a violent and hoarse coughing sound in the room. The young man panicked, let go of the hand holding the door, and hurried into the room, holding the hand that had been taken out of the bed on the bed, and put it down. After returning to bed, he asked with concern: "Mom, are you okay?"

In the bed, a sound like a blade scraping porcelain came: "Otto, the guest is here, let the guest come over, cough cough..." After speaking, he coughed violently again.

"Mom! He is not a guest, he said he is your friend." The boy was anxious. His mother was so ill and still missed her guest!

"It's me, Diane..."

Zhou Ming walked in, and as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was immediately shocked by the appearance of the patient on the bed, and his mouth opened wide, unable to speak.

What kind of dignity is this?

His face is full of brown, yellow and dark wrinkles, his skin is like dead wood, and his bones are like skeletons. When he was young, his beautiful face was overwhelming. At this time, every frown, smile, even slight movement of expression, and speaking, caused Wrinkles move, and when others see it, their scalps will feel numb and they will feel nauseated with pantothenic acid.

Poisonous grandma.

Zhou Ming now understood why those people outside had such a nickname. It was poisonous, really poisonous.

"It's you?"

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed softly: "You are finally here, okay, okay..."

After asking the young man to exit the room, Zhou Ming moved a stool and sat beside the bed, and began to talk in detail with the woman with whom he had a romantic relationship.

How did Diana and her son get through these years?

Zhou Ming really wanted to know the answer to this question. He wanted to ask, how have the mother and son been doing over the years?

But regarding this, Diana on the hospital bed didn't say anything, just smiled "brilliantly" on her face. The more urgent Zhou Ming asked, the more ugly and terrifying the smile on her face bloomed.

In fact, the answer to this question has already been clearly answered in his mind after Zhou Ming dispatched manpower to investigate, analyze and summarize all the clues.

After Diana gave birth to a son in the deep palace, perhaps she missed the old relationship. The old king didn't do anything to her. Even though everyone knew what was going on, he still claimed that it was his son, but just for punishment, Diana was demoted. For the lowest level of court maids, she cut off all concubine treatment, including the medicine that Diana often took to maintain skin elasticity and luster.

In this way, after spending three years in the deep palace, when the old king died of illness and the new king came to power, Helian did not hesitate to take this wrinkled woman who made him want to vomit, and her three-year-old bastard son, They drove out of the palace together.

In the ten years after they were kicked out of the palace and all their savings were spent, it was almost predictable how the mother and son would continue to survive.

Diana, who has no survival skills and has only entertained people with sex her whole life, apart from career planning in the projects she is good at, what other jobs are there for her to choose?

Then I heard that people in the slums were talking about the special services of the "toxic nuns". Diana, who was good at understanding men's psychology, actually opened up a market for heavy flavors.

"What's the kid's name? What's his name?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Ming, who no longer struggled with the answer, asked Diana.

"Otto, his name is Otto. In my country, it means majestic lion." A trace of pride flashed on Diana's face. This was the name she gave her son!

"Otto...the majestic lion..."

Zhou Ming muttered it twice, and looked at the quiet, thin and thin young man standing aside. His young face, which was about five points like his own, was covered with traces of people who were not quite as old as him. The gloominess of adaptation, and the frowning brows from time to time, reveal a heart-wrenching perseverance and maturity.

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

Suddenly there was a fierce noise and fighting outside the house.

"what happened?"

Zhou Ming frowned and walked to the door. He saw a man lying on the ground who looked like a gangster. He was being beaten with fists and kicks by several guards, and he was screaming in agony.

"Sir, these gangsters said that Otto owed them 500 gold coins, and now they came to ask him to pay back the money." A guard came over and explained.

"Nonsense! I obviously only borrowed 50 gold coins, and I agreed to pay back 100 gold coins in one month. It has only been more than a month and two days, and you are saying that I owe 500 gold coins. I have so much money to pay you back. ?" The young man walked out of the room and argued angrily.

In order to treat his mother's illness, he has sold all the things in the house that can be sold. The only thing that is still worth some money now is this house in a better location, so he dares to steal money from those gangster loan sharks. In his hand, he borrowed 50 gold coins, and a month later, he used his house to pay off the debt.

But he only stayed for two more days, and the usury increased to 500 gold coins...

"Boy! You still don't know the rule that if a usurious loan is overdue for one day, the interest will double again, right? If you moved out of this house two days ago, there would be no problem, but today, not only do you have to use this house to pay off the debt, but you also have to use this house to pay off the debt. You have to go with us! If you train your handsome appearance well, those dignitaries in the south will fight for it! Hahahaha, don’t think that these people you invited can I can protect you for the rest of your life!"

The leader of the gangster with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth said with a maniacal smile.

"Slap the mouth!" Zhou Ming frowned heavily, and said to the guards beside him.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

After a while, the gang leader whose face was swollen like a pig after being slapped cried desperately for mercy.

"Give them 50 gold coins and get out of here! If you dare to come again, kill them all!"

Frightened by the substantive murderous look in Zhou Ming's eyes, the hooligans who got the money bags left this place of right and wrong.

And the young man who was watching all this on the side saw Zhou Ming, who was able to deal with the most vicious and vicious gangsters in the slums in a few words, and whose movements were filled with the aura of a superior, was so shocked that he was speechless. A small seed of fire took root and planted in my heart.

…

A few days later.

Diana on the hospital bed was dying.

When Zhou Ming came to visit, Diana, who had already explained to her son, stretched out her hand.

Zhou Ming quickly grabbed the hand that looked like dry wood hanging cloth, leaned forward, put his ear close to her mouth, and said, "I'm here, if you have anything to say."

"Take care of... him for me..." said an extremely weak voice.

"Okay, I will take care of him, I will definitely take care of him!"

Zhou Ming promised, but after a while, he found that Diana was reluctant to close her eyes, as if she still had some wish, and slowly moved towards his face with her thin dry wood hand.

Zhou Ming, who seemed to understand what he meant, put this hand on his face and let her rub it gently, moving his lips as if saying a name.

"Otto..." In his gradually blurred vision, he seemed to see his grown-up son, Diana, standing in front of him. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes.

"Hey~"

Wiping the water droplets from the corners of his eyes, Zhou Ming couldn't help but sigh even though he had experienced this similar scene countless times.

However, after seeing the unwavering expression on the young man's face, as if nothing to do with him, Zhou Ming was furious:

"Why don't you cry?!"

But the young man clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared at him with red eyes: "Mom said, never cry at any time! Never be timid at any time! Because my name is Otto! I Call the lion Otto!”

boom!

Zhou Ming trembled violently, staring blankly at the woman on the bed, the words reverberated in his mind, lingering for a long time.

What a great mother!

After a long time, Zhou Ming stood up, patted the young man's shoulder gently, and said, "My name is Edward, and I am your father..."
